This Week’s Font

	2010/12/31 Pilut Rather blobby.
	2010/12/24 Pines Extremely pointy.
	2010/12/17 Skatolo Nonmonospaced pixel font.
	2010/12/10 Wib Potraced result of some fiddling in the Gimp.
	2010/12/03 Babette Still another hand-drawn, because I have too been busy/lazy to make anything any more refined.
	2010/11/26 Blackbored Another ridiculous blackboard-bold hand-drawn on the Wacom.
	2010/11/19 Olvidar Made of dots.
	2010/11/12 Decatur At the very end of 2004, I tried to study Chicago a bit, but it came out badly. I think this one went better. It's not really a direct imitation of Chicago the existing vector font, but an attempt to capture how I feel about Chicago the bitmap font. Feelings, man. Feelings.
	2010/11/05 Pants Sort of exploring the same cheerful casualness as with Cruikshank, but without a specific model, and with fewer wibbly concave bits.
	2010/10/29 Crimp A straight-line lowercase, which nonetheless suggests a curve here and there.
	2010/10/22 Blorb A goofy hand-drawn.
	2010/10/15 Laminar A fun little swoopy, didone lowercase.
	2010/10/08 Handy (caps) Uppercase handwritten letters.
	2010/10/01 Spectrum Another experiment in a square-fit sort of feel, in a very light weight.
	2010/09/24 Handy A scan of my normal handwritten lowercase. Yes, I have in fact trained myself to write two-storey gs every time.
	2010/09/17 Dentor Rounded outsides, pointy insides.
	2010/09/10 Lloyd Tall and sort of Art-Deco-y, at least according to my impression of Art Deco.
	2010/09/02 Gevalt An inky Hebrew alphabet.
	2010/08/27 Scrip Not legal tender! If you go to the wikipedia page on 'scrip' you get a face full of Papyrus, ew.
	2010/08/20 Galena Chunky and leaning a bit to the italic.
	2010/08/13 Gauss A somewhat rigid sans-serif lowercase.
	2010/08/06 Minsk Some blobby Cyrillic.
	2010/07/30 Baklava A chunky Greek alphabet.
	2010/07/23 Facefont An 'alphabet' of faces. A bit of a cheat, but certainly not a shortcut. The ones I did first are very rough, but I think I improved gradually.
	2010/07/16 Resto Based on some signange for a defunct restaurant near 12th and Market.
	2010/07/09 Witt (caps) Filled up Witt with caps and numbers and punctuation.
	2010/07/02 Tonic Somewhat squat, with octagon-y serifs.
	2010/06/25 Putter A quick sans-serif lowercase, with mostly constant weight.
	2010/06/18 Derailleur An experiment in reverse contrast.
	2010/06/11 Witt An unassuming slab serif.
	2010/06/04 Patience Pretty much an anti-blackletter sensibility except perhaps in its weight.
	2010/05/30 Frack (caps) Psyfe dared me to do caps for Frack, so I did them over the weekend.
	2010/05/28 Frack My first time revisiting blackletter since slavkäppen. I really like how the g, y, v, w turned out. Here is the reference I used.
	2010/05/21 Tog Tiny or absent counters in a salad of greek-ish letters and pac-mans.
	2010/05/14 Colony A soft, friendly uppercase, in contrast to the week before.
	2010/05/07 Codex A slightly-less-stabby but still very much straight-liney lowercase script thing.
	2010/04/30 Admissible A cramped, angular lowercase (!).
	2010/04/23 Droplet Letters built from ill-balanced swooshes.
	2010/04/16 Bobbin Warning: contains ridiculous ball terminals.
	2010/04/09 Swab A silly ultra-high-contrast sans.
	2010/04/02 Quiz The obvious constraint is using only 45 and 90 degree angles.
	2010/03/26 Ditter I made this one a long time ago, back when lea and I were first working on ditter-the-telegraph-key/twitter-interface, but it didn't really turn out to be the right style for that. Still, it's an alphabet, and I noticed I never put it up before.
	2010/03/26 Markov A very quick handwriting font, due to impending ICFP deadline.
	2010/03/19 Silverfork A tribute to the ubiquitous Copperplate Gothic. I didn't look at the original too much after making sure my C was appropriately horseshoe-shaped, and that my G was spiny in enough places. I'm happy to find that what I thought was an absurdly over-seriffed N in mine is actually comparable to the original. The real Q is kind of weird to my eye. I'm on the fence as to whether I like my two-overlapping-V version of the W better or not.
	2010/03/12 Doppio Not very consistent, but sort of fun anyway.
	2010/03/05 Gravel A chunky straight-liner, no skimping on serifs.
	2010/02/26 Cobbler A cheery ~~cheap knock-off of~~ tribute to Cooper Black
	2010/02/19 Tase Optimized for pointiness and top-heaviness.
	2010/02/12 Bigfoot A wide high-contrast face, with lovingly bracketed serifs. It could use some tweaking, but I am pretty happy with it. I have actually been working on it since the middle of January and cranking out lesser material while slowly producing it in the background.
	2010/02/05 Shipping A pixel font.
	2010/01/29 Cruikshank Studying the lettering from the animation work of Sally Cruikshank. Specifically, the opening credits to "Make Me Psychic".
	2010/01/22 Quotient Everybody's gotta try making a modular font a few times before realizing it's a terrible idea, right?
	2010/01/15 Adipose In a sculptural frame of mind — just chipping away from a black square.
	2010/01/08 Carnitas Those of you who know me (or who know early-20th-century geometric sans serifs) well will recognize what this is an obvious imitation of. As an exercise I did it from memory without looking up the actual font for reference, and I daresay I got reasonably close. Which is to say, I go to Chipotle way too often, but I already knew that. The elimination of the angled terminals on C, S, G was intentional though, for I really don't care for them. Apart from that I notice my M's middle sinks lower, the curves in my B, D, P, R are a bit squarer in general and in the P and R they are actually square and not curved on the insides.
	2010/01/01 Kimball A quick little monocase font named after the CTA Brown Line terminus. It is intended to be what it would look like if Gotham and Clarendon had a baby.
